章 9: Chapter 9: That's it?_1
Yang Qingtao, upon hearing this, fell silent for a moment before saying:
"We're in the library; let's go outside to talk, so we don't disturb anyone else."
Chen Gong, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and got up to follow Yang Qingtao outside.
Because he was in a hurry, he forgot to take out the slip of paper he had tucked into the book while returning it.
After leaving the library, Yang Qingtao took out two notebooks and placed them on the steps, sitting down himself, "Let's sit and have a chat."
"Whatever you want to know, just ask."
Chen Gong smiled upon seeing this, "I messed up your notebook."
Yang Qingtao waved his hand dismissively, "My notebook isn't valuable; it's full of mistakes. It's yours that's full of gems. I almost didn't want to leave after looking at it."
"Plus, you being a top student, maybe I can catch some of that aura from you."
Chen Gong was momentarily taken aback. The aura of a top student?
"Senior, actually... my farts stink too..."
Yang Qingtao was stunned, not catching on immediately.
A moment later, annoyed, he pulled Chen Gong up, grabbed a couple of pieces of paper to sit on, and then disdainfully patted his notebook.
"Cut it out!"
"Way to kill the mood."
Chen Gong couldn't help but snicker, and both of them started to laugh.
"You, I'll be honest, if I hadn't seen your library card, I wouldn't have believed you're a sophomore."
Yang Qingtao gave a thumbs-up and chuckled at himself.
Chen Gong also felt slightly embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Senior, could you tell me about the lab?"
Yang Qingtao nodded, "Sure... well, it's not really a secret, and with your abilities, it's only a matter of time before you join."
"Our university has many labs, including anatomy, biochemical, and physiological labs... There are also some related to pharmacy, or certain professors' specialized project labs."
"Of course, different labs naturally have different research projects and content."
"Like me, for instance, I joined the anatomy lab that was under the charge of Professor Qin, who is our anatomy teacher and the deputy head of the anatomy teaching and research office."
"Professor Qin is highly skilled. Aside from his school duties, he's also the head of the General Surgery Department at Shanhe Medical University and is very busy with his work."
"But these professors are usually so busy with their work that they mainly focus on major directions and overall framework of the research projects; they don't really get involved with the specifics, which are managed by associate professors, lecturers, lab technicians, lab assistants, and graduate students pursuing their master's or doctorate degrees."
"This is generally the case for other labs as well."
"The university encourages undergraduates to join research groups to foster talent, so some project leaders will also select outstanding students to nurture early on."
"However, for undergraduates, the threshold is quite high. You have to be exceptionally good, otherwise... even if you do join, you'll just be doing odds and ends, not really getting to touch any core material or learn much."
"So, after one is selected to join, there's also the possibility of being eliminated."
"But once you can really stay, it's an incredibly valuable learning opportunity and a great boon for your future development."
At this point, a sense of pride showed on Yang Qingtao's face. His talent for surgery truly stood out, and he had an excellent anatomical mindset with a solid foundation—a key reason for Professor Qin's favoritism.
As he indulged in the thought, he suddenly noticed Chen Gong staring at him with a strange expression, making Yang Qingtao feel uncomfortable all over.
This kid... doubts me?!
However, Yang Qingtao wasn't angry; after all... he didn't have the achievements to flaunt arrogance.
He cleared his throat, "Alright, back to the main subject."
"For those of us in medical studies, we generally have to aim for a master's or a doctorate, but... the heads of those labs are master's and doctoral supervisors. If you catch their eye, it would save you a lot of effort in your future development."
"You might even have the chance to be recommended for post-graduate studies or to stay at the university."
"I'm involved with the student council which takes up a lot of time, and I'm particularly interested in anatomy, but my overall grades aren't that great, so I don't meet the criteria for direct recommendation for post-graduate studies. However, for many students with good grades and who are liked by their teachers, getting recommended isn't overly difficult."
At this, Yang Qingtao looked seriously at Chen Gong, "Let's put it this way, the lab is the easiest place to gold-plate your college phase, the best place to learn, and the best place to get training; it can even change the trajectory of your life!"
"However, I want to give you a piece of advice..."
"Don't bite off more than you can chew; after all... human energy is limited."
After listening to all this, Chen Gong had a much deeper understanding of the labs and nodded, "Thank you, Senior."
"Also, I wanted to ask, what are the requirements to join the anatomy lab?"
Yang Qingtao was immediately stunned, "You want to join the anatomy lab, not the Basic Biochemistry Lab?"
He looked at Chen Gong with puzzlement and realized the other person was not joking. He said,
"Professor Qin values most is anatomical thinking and practical ability."
"Anatomical thinking?" Chen Gong asked back, "What's that?"
Yang Qingtao smiled proudly, finally finding a gap in Chen Gong's knowledge. How could he not be happy?
"Anatomical thinking is about the sensitivity to the human body's tissues and organs, as well as spatial awareness and whether the basics are solid."
"To judge specifically, there are standards. That's composition. The anatomy class has regular assignments like drawing certain tissues."
"Actually, drawing is the best way to judge the quality of anatomical thinking, and this is where my advantage lies."
While talking, Yang Qingtao pulled out a piece of paper and started to draw on it with a pen. Soon, he had drawn an anatomical diagram of a finger.
Nerves, blood vessels, muscles, tendons, bones, synovial joints, etc... all were clearly visible.
"This is anatomical thinking!"
Yang Qingtao was very confident in this strength of his; having learned to draw as a child, he handled this task with ease.
Actually, drawing places a high value on spatial and structural awareness.
And so does anatomy.
"How about that?" Yang Qingtao looked at Chen Gong with feigned provocation.
Chen Gong stayed silent for a long time, to which Yang Qingtao, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh, "What, not convinced?"
"Everyone has their own strengths and special skills."
Chen Gong shook his head and countered, "Did Professor Qin value you just for a drawing like this?"
At this remark, the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
What kind of comment was that?
Looking down on whom?
Yang Qingtao laughed out of extreme irritation, "You think it's easy?"
"You need to clearly remember the directions of the blood vessels, nerves, tendons, and have an understanding of bones and..."
"Hey?"
"What are you doing?"
Yang Qingtao watched as Chen Gong took a pen and started correcting his paper, and immediately asked anxiously.
However, Chen Gong ignored him and continued making corrections.
About ten minutes later...
Chen Gong handed the drawing back to Yang Qingtao, "You've made 15 obvious mistakes and over thirty inaccuracies."
"The proportions of the phalanges are incorrect, and there are clear errors at the metacarpophalangeal joints."
"The relationship and structure between the interphalangeal joints and the collateral ligaments are a bit off."
"The extensor tendons hood, fingertip nerves..."
While talking, Chen Gong went over the mistakes one by one.
Yang Qingtao looked at the corrected paper in his hand, then quickly took out his phone to search for an anatomical diagram of the index finger and stood there stunned.
This the hell... is anatomical thinking?
It's like copy and paste, okay?
The proportions Chen Gong drew were identical to those in the picture.
So... so amazing!
No, this isn't normal. No normal person could do this...
Yang Qingtao wanted to cry but had no tears.
He realized that his life's Waterloo had occurred because of Chen Gong.
This guy is inhuman!
